Seppelt just mentioned in Sportschau that Putin said on Wednesday in Kreml that all athletes  (even if they have been banned) are seen as Olympic champions. This means they get 4M Rubel (about 50k $) and Seppelt implies that this is the reason why only Morozov went to CAS by now. So he thinks IOC pays cash to avoid the appeals!

Makes sense really. It was reported earlier this week by the Times that the Russians came up with idea, sacrificing allready convicted dopers in the hope to avoid a blanket ban.

Russia was also probably reassuring that no Russians will wome to CAS (hence the  4M rubel). But, I don't see why the IOC would have pay for it, most likely it's russian taxpayer's money.

 

Edit: did they mentioned during the show the supposed appeal by the russian weightlifting federation ?

4. https://www.bfm.ru/news/329461 Putin said: "In fact, a blow to the entire world sport and the Olympic Games, and it is obvious that the absence of Russian athletes, leaders in many disciplines, noticeably reduce, will reduce the intensity of the struggle, and hence the upcoming entertainment events. And we here in Russia, I want to assure you that we are here, in Russia, will be on our athletes leading watch as the winners of the Olympic Games with all the consequences of the administrative and material nature" words of support that have been part of his speech.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.
